I've lived in this neighborhood for about 10 years and have seen businesses come and go and I've tried a lot of food along the way. I can honestly say Pops Bagels is one of the most delightful bagels I've ever had. The crunch on the outside, the soft pillowy inside, and the perfectly balanced scallion smear on my everything bagel were incredible. It tasted homemade; like it was made with heart. Not heavy or "carb coma" inducing, just light, airy, and full of flavor. I was genuinely shocked when I finished it and immediately wished I had ordered a second. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Next time I'll start to sit in their outdoor area, it's sunny and inviting in a non pretentious way.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I've tried several bagel spots in the area, and this is hands-down my new favorite. I wish I had taken a photo but I gobbled it down before that could even happen. I'll definitely be back soon. Kudos to the team! Xo read more

Brentwood location is awful service. Ordered a lot on bagel. Toasted. Watched 8 people behind the counter chat with each other, had to remind them about my order. Bagel wasn't toasted and lox was sloppy and too much cream cheese and barely any onion or black pepper. Paid $14. Never again would I eat here. Oh and lox was warm. Gross. Horrible service. read more

I'm an east coast bagel snob and have to say this is by bar the best bagel I've had in my 4 years in LA. I've tried so many places and don't know why it took me so long to come here. Crunchy on the outside. Soft on the inside. Perfect balance on the everything blend (a lot of places here use wayyyyy too much fennel). The Lox smear was absolutely perfect. The service was fast and super friendly. Even though this is out of the way for me, I'll be coming back. read more

We stopped for some bagels on the way home and initially came here for the rainbow bagel. Unfortunately, they weren't making the rainbow bagels that day even though it was a Sunday... I tried to ask and they didn't give any reason. Was definitely disappointed but we I got blueberry instead with a lox bagel. It was a fair amount of filling but not as much as I would have liked. Overall it was ok for when we needed it. read more

Not much of a sit down experience but I was able to get my bagel very quick. The people were very fast and efficient. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was a quick pace.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The bagel was alright, I usually prefer a more fluffed bagel with a good amount of cream cheese. read more

I'm an avid bagel lover through and through and have frequented the trendy bagel spots in LA and also enjoy having bagels in New York when I'm visiting. I'd still say Pop's Bagels delivers quality bagels and I always get the Tomato Bagel as a staple for breakfast/lunch. Just an all around a must to try when you're craving a GOOD bagel in the city. read more

Came on a Thursday morning. There was no line and we were able to order quickly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's an outdoor section out front with plenty of spots to eat at.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Egg and Cheese Bagel - I got this with an everything bagel and added avocado. This was the saltiest bagel I have ever tasted. It was close to inedible. I thought at first it might have just been the seasoning on the everything bagel but realized it was the bagel dough itself. Not even the avocado could tamper down how salty it was. I ended up taking off the top of the bagel half in order to cut the salt but it was still extremely salty. Towards the middle of eating the salty bagel, I ended up just grabbing the egg, cheese, and avocado and forgetting the bagel all together. My sister got another egg sandwich with a different bagel and she experienced the same thing. Judging on the reviews, this must have been a bad batch or something. Very disappointing. The workers were kind and helpful when we ordered so adding an extra start for that. read more

My favorite bagel spot in LA hands down! They have the best fresh made to order bagels. The service is always quick and the staff are friendly. My favorite is the cinnamon raisin bagel, toasted extra long, with butter. It's literally the best bagel I've had in LA. Love Pop's bagels! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I love this bagel joint, located in a lovely part of West Hollywood.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It is located in a little plaza where there is also a coffee shop and a Japanese restaurant at. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are a few tables to eat and relax outside for some fresh air.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They make their bagels freshly in store and also sell frozen ones to go and a variety of different kinds and spreads. I got a pain bagel with lox cream spread, it was so creamy and delicious. I can't wait to go back! The service was also kind and quick even with a busy line! read more

What kind of operation is this place running? Terrible bagels, it's like no one here knows what a bagel is supposed to taste like. And the cheese on my sandwich tasted like freezer burn. For the prices they're charging, the quality needs to improve - big time! read more

We usually come through when we're in the neighborhood using the Too Good Too Go app, which means we get a bag of bagels picked by the staff. What a great way to try each flavor! The bagels are a family favorite now, with the perfect chew to crusted outer ratio. The blueberry is more savory than sweet, which is how my son likes it. The chocolate chip has a beautiful swirl and nice bits of chocolate. Again, not too sweet. The cheese jalapeño bagel actually had bits of jalapeño baked into the dough. It packs little bites of pleasant heat throughout each bite. The poppyseed is messy but delicious. As I was walking into the shop one day, an guy was walking out with a poppyseed bagel in hand - no cut, no spread - and just bit the hell out of it with joy in his heart. I know we have some bagel connoisseurs out there, but for a simple girl, these are my bagels make me the happiest! read more

I'd heard good things about this place and decided to give it a shot. I got the baker's dozen (poppy, onion, blueberry, cinnamon raisin) and a nova lox sandwich. The individuals bagels were sliced but thrown into a bag all together which was interesting considering there were sweet and savory flavors, so maybe I should've asked for them to be separately wrapped? I just thought they would be in a box or separate bag. The lox sandwich was good, seasoned well, but the texture of the bagel wasn't as chewy as I would expect. I guess I prefer my bagels a little thicker and chewier, but that's just my preference. The sandwich was open faced and was pretty good overall. read more

Service and food was fantastic. Love this place and this amazing city. Come eat here immediately

Pop is abusive !!! How the heck do you screw up à bagel !?? Attention: give me what I pay for !!! The schmear is the same price as a small container but they use less! Never coming back here again. Awful bagel! Awful customer service . Too many bagel joints for me to even think twice for a 'second chance.' I came here at around 7:15 am. I ordered the jalapeño cheddar bagel with cream cheese spread. The bagel was raw. I can still see the 'white stuff' around it as it looked like flour. It wasn't even toasted which is strange considering the sign says 'fresh hot bagels.' Doesn't withstand. Oh, and they didn't even spread the cream on it too. When I come to reheat, the cashier hands me the bagel , putting it in my hands. Doesn't wrap it! The guy is a complete moron!!! This is a 0/5 star type of bagel . $7 ? Would rather go to the grocery store !!!! read more

I love pops. The poppy seed bagel has an insane(ly delicious) amount of seeds on it. They don't skimp on the blueberries or cinnamon raisin either. They also have drinks and metered parking right outside. read more

They have continued to improve for the last few years and the other day i got a baker's dozen and they looked so good that ate one with nothing on it and it was as good as NEW YORK. I have never said that about any bagel in LA. Pops is legit! read more

They raised the prices. About a dollar more. Still a decent bagel. But a dollar more. About 3.50 with a tip. Just the bagel. I think plain bagels are cheaper. But I always get blueberry or onion. They don't even last til my house if they are fresh. read more

Best bagels in LA, period. No waiting in lines, they have parking, AND GLUTEN FREE OPTIONS! The iced matcha is also great something for everybody. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's limited seating outside but if you get there early you can snag a table with an umbrella (very necessary)[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I didn't ask for a toasted bagel and they were all toasted. Very skimpy on the cream cheese so make sure to ask for heavy cream cheese if that's your thing. Bagels were okay - not my favorite. read more

Why does it take 20 minutes to slice, toast, and put a schmear on a bagel here? During the three times that I've been here, there is no one in line at the register, yet there's always a long wait to get a simple order. Something about their workflow doesn't add up. The other bagel shop I go to can have a line out the door and I'd still get my bagel within 5 minutes after placing my order. To add insult to injury, a bagel is around $3 but adding a schmear more than doubles the price; a bacon egg and cheese sandwich is $15. NYC would NEVER. read more

I had a bacon egg and cheese on an everything bagel and it smacked. It was a little pricey but I wouldn't mind paying for it again. The girl behind the counter was friendly and overall a simple quick service spot for a great tasting bagel sandwich. read more

Ovvverated! Find another bagel place Pros: The gentleman taking our order was very service oriented Cons: Wayyyy overcooked - the egg and cheese were essentially liquified and it tasted like nacho cheese and just goey. Wayyyy overpriced, $16.50 for a bagel sandwich to go [[HIGHLIGHT]]No place to sit inside[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Didn't like the cheap American cheese. Prefer cheddar. Never tasted or saw if there was an actual egg in the sandwich Other: Bagel was ok but didn't live up to hype Bacon used properly would have good if the egg and cheese was respectable read more

Coming from NYC, I've been on a mission to find the best bagels in LA, and Pop's Bagels was one of our stops! From the moment you walk in, the smell of freshly baked bagels welcomes you. The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring you have a pleasant experience. The bagels were pretty good. I enjoyed the everything bagel with cream cheese, and we also ordered the pastrami sandwich on a sesame bagel. They offer a wide variety of flavors and toppings. It is a bit on the pricier side for what you get so I wouldn't go out of my way to come back, but if you're in the neighborhood anyway, it is a pretty convenient place to stop in. read more

Bagel was amazing! The service was great and the atmosphere was fun. I love this place

Had a gluten free sesame bagel w/vegan cream cheese. So delicious and really among the best I've had of gluten free bagels in LA.

Not really a bagel, but not really a roll either. They LOOK like bagels, but I've never eaten a bagel where I had to stop and think and remember what food it was marketed as. The top of it felt bagel-ish, but the bottom was 100% not bagel. My toddler said, "mom my hands are wet from holding it." He was right. It was literally greasy on the bottom. That was a first as well. We only bought two plain bagels. Not toasted, nothing on them. Just by themselves. Definitely would not be going back. Threw majority of each away. read more

Ok, so i've noticed this place for quite some time while driving by! I take my bagels very seriously! I've been all the greatest spots throughout New York, LA and even in Europe! So I know what I'm talking about. I always start off simple, this a regular bagel and cream cheese. I went for an everything bagel, with regular cream cheese. The bagel is soft and the exterior is hard as it should be! They're making them right! There's no white bread soft through and through bagels here. The service is fantastic, and they get you your order and record speed! This was very much a pleasant surprise! I will be back. read more

Right in my neighborhood, walking distance and right next door to Commissary Coffee. This is a great little bagel shop where you can grab your coffee and get a delicious bagel. I got the Nova lox which was excellent, the only thing that wasn't great is the $18.00 price! Otherwise this would have gotten a perfect rating. read more

Unfortunately, this place is overhyped and overpriced. The first time I came here I didn't walk away with a lasting impression. The bagel sandwich was fine, but nothing groundbreaking, especially for $15. The second time I went, the person at the register was distracted and couldn't pay enough attention to take my order for 20 seconds. Once I had her attention she had a bit of an attitude and it felt as though just being there was an inconvenience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is no inside seating so you will likely end up waiting outside and hope to hear your name called from someone inside behind the counter.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You can find way better bagels at a much more reasonable price with friendlier staff elsewhere. read more

$11.82 for this. An egg bagel with cream cheese and bacon. My favorite part was the cold bacon. It was cooked, but cold. The bagels are good, but my goodness. I think I'm good on this place. They are really nice, but we all deserve better. read more

I ordered a lox with butter and they just gave me a bagel with butter with no lox. I also ordered an avocado and toast and this is the saddest thing I've ever seen. First of all it doesn't come on toast. It comes on a bagel. Then they just put some scrambled egg and cut up avocado. There was no avocado spread no radishes, no greenery. It looks very basic. read more
